4. Early Termination
In the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of a Contract Subscriber’s Contract Term, such Contract Subscriber must pay, in addition to all fees and other charges accrued or otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement, an Early Termination Fee in the amount that equates to the amount due and payable through the end of the contract term. In the event a Contract Subscriber terminates this Agreement prior to the end of their Contract Term because of a service-related problem, not caused by the Subscriber, that BlueStream Consulting has failed to cure after what BlueStream Consulting determines in its sole discretion to be a reasonable amount of time based on the circumstances, the Subscriber is entitled to a waiver of the Early Termination Fee. For such waiver to apply, the reason for the waiver stated above must have occurred before termination and the Subscriber must report such reason for termination to BlueStream Consulting in the Subscriber’s valid written termination request. BlueStream Consulting must be given in turn the opportunity to resolve the problem and the Subscriber must be willing and able to troubleshoot with BlueStream Consulting to resolve the problem. BlueStream Consulting does not monitor Subscriber accounts foractivity, and absence of activity or cancellation of a Subscriber’s Internet Service will never constitute a termination request.
5. Answer to Seizure Ratio (ASR)

This ratio is calculated at the end of each monthly billing cycle, based on the ASR over the entire billing period. Utilization arising from unacceptable use, such as auto-dialers, abusive calling patterns, or anything causing network congestioncan result in suspension without notice or cancellation of service.

If a disparity is found between the information that BlueStream Consulting is sending and the information that a terminating telephone company is displaying, it is the Subscriber’s responsibility to contact the terminating telephone company and request that they display the correct data. BlueStream Consulting is not responsible for errors involving spelling, punctuation, or capitalizationof Caller ID information.
